After two days off to basically chill and a day of off due to rain, we decided to visit Canyonlands NP as our time here in Moab was quickly coming to a close.
Canyonlands is divided into three sections: Needles, Maze, and Islands in the Sky. The section closest to us here in Moab was Islands in the Sky. I would have to say this section was aptly named as the following pictures will show. With the valley receiving rain, the higher elevations of the LaSal Mountains received snow and provided a beautiful backdrop to Canyonlands.
John and I are sitting in front of Mesa Arch. The views from this area were spectacular and well worth the hike to the arch. The arch itself looked like it was barely attached to the canyon wall which was an illusion, I'm sure. I don't think too many people would consider walking on top of this arch as there is nothing but a free fall into the canyon should you slip.There is so much to see and do in the Moab area. This area will definitely be put on our must visit again list as we have enjoyed our time here and would look forward to returning.
